REMOVAL OF THIOL BY ACTIVATED CARBON FIBER

Pitch based activated carbon fiber(PACF)was prepared,and influences of preparing condition such as activated temperature and time on the yield.specific surface area of PACF and its adsorption behavior towards n-butanethiol were studied.The results showed that simple PACF could not remove n-butanethiol from n-hexane solution.Therefore,dispersion of suitable catalyst such as cobalt salt on PACF is needed,Cobalt solat dispersed PACF can remove n-butanethiol quickly.
